Ghosts

This Henrik Ibsen play will have you pondering for days. There’s no actual ghosts in Ghosts; it’s about the secrets and lies that haunt people even decades later. The plot centers on Mrs. Alving, a widow whose life was never perfect — and oh, does it get worse with the beginning of a revelation of past hidden truths.

The strength of this play lies in how it demonstrates that the true “ghosts” in the life are not frightening spirits, but rather, what we try to conceal — past mistakes, regrets and untold stories.
